Default Winterizing at 10500 miles: Should I change the fuel filter??

I always change all my fluids and clean my air filter before I put her to bed and I was wondering if anyone changes their fuel filter at this interval. GM states to change the fuel filter every 15k but I'm a little overprotective so I was thinking about doing a fuel filter change along with everything else. I add a bottle of Redline fuel system cleaner with every oil change so I'm pretty confident the filter's clean but I wanted a second opinion.

Any thoughts??

Thanks in advance

I think your instincts are correct. I have 24,000 plus on my 2000 with no signs of lowered fuel pressure. The Service Manual indicates you should perform the idle learn procedure after installing a new fuel filter. :)

I would. I always felt that every 10,000 miles was a good time to change the fuel filter.
